new note 3
Posted on 6/18/14 at 8:56 pm

I just got a new note 3. I've had an iPhone5 for the past few years. What do I need?
I'm looking for free music, a better keyboard, and all of the regular good stuff.
Any help is appreciated.

Samsung uses the swift keyboard tech. Google it maybe not on the note 3 but on the s5.

By swiftkey, do you mean where dragging your finger across the screen types for you? It does that, im still getting used to it but I love it so far.

Nova launcher
What's this

When you unlock your screen and look at the screen, or swipe to another screen, that is your launcher. Basically your home screen(s). You are currently using the touchwiz launcher, but there are a ton of other launchers out there that you can use instead. In most people's opinion (mine included) nova launcher is the best. It works the same as your current launcher, but it allows you to customize most stuff on your screen. Want more rows or columns, or want to make your app icons smaller or bigger? You can adjust widget sizes, create gestures (like a swipe up will open a certain apps). One of the biggest thing is icon packs. With a different launcher, you can customize what all of your icons look like with icon packs.
Nova now has hotword detection, so you can just say "ok google" to open up google search.
Pocketcasts is a great app for podcasts, if that's your thing.
Also, don't forget to download Google Opinion Rewards. Every once in a while, you will get surveys from google, and when you complete them, google will give you google play credit. I used to get them all the time, but it has slowed down a bit.
If you are on ATT, get their Visual Voicemail app. It will make your voicemails like the iPhone voicemails.
I don't really have any Note 3 centric apps that are a must have. I rarely use the s pen, so maybe somebody that uses it more can help you out with that.

I installed it. Is it a legitimate app? No worries of being hacked or anything like that?

I think it's pretty legit
If I'm not mistaken there are a good bit of wifi hotspot apps on android for free or under $5

who's your service through? if on AT&T next, you don't need any app. It's built into the phone. Just go to settings and then Tethering and portable hotspot; turn on.

Welcome to the best phone money can buy. The note is hands down the best phone I've ever had and it isn't even close.
Takes a little getting used to but one you get it , it can't be beat

I have had the note3 since nov.2013....A great phone! I have been an iPhone user since the original iphone. ...I absolutely love it! Is the nova launcher worth installing? Looking to use this phone to its fullest capability.

Yes. The nova launcher just makes it a little more customizable.
It's preferences really
